OGX360 updates and alternatives?

[MadMartigan]

I’ve done a little digging lately and it seems there are quite a few options these days for wireless support of more modern controllers. 
I’m looking to avoid a ton of cables going everywhere for 4 controller support. The Brook Wingman XB2 is a nice option, but requires 4 of them, similar to the OGX360 module needing all four controller ports to be physically connected when in use. This obviously causes a mess of cables and gets quite pricey. 
 

Looking for some information about any newer/lesser known options. I’m all for making this myself and hopefully internalizing it. I just can’t stress enough that the amount of loose cables is a huge turnoff for me.

Got some more info? Is this your project? 

[dtomcat]

It is not mine.  I just forked it an added a lot more information

I make these 1 port versions if you're interested 

 

I also designed an internal USB hub to be used with a stock OGX360, so your controller ports will work with it (with the use of Xbox to USB adapters), but that way has some drawbacks, Xbox communicators and memory cards will no longer work, and the 8bitdo v2 adapter will not work since it has problems with USB 2.0 hubs in general (I'm currently working on a fix for that one):

This is something more along the lines of what I’m looking for. Even tho it requires each port to have a small dongle, it’s a hell of a lot cleaner than cables everywhere.

The one I use does 4 players.  And doesn’t take up any ports

Yep that’s the winner. I’ll admit that I’m terrible at navigating through GitHub so I’ll try to find a BOM and look into building this. I’m most definitely going to need some sort of tutorial.

Just let me know if you questions

How can I contact you for the 1 port version one?

I think they are available on Etsy.  I bought one there about a year ago.   It works well.

I've been using it with an 8bitdo wireless adapter and primarily a XBO or PS4 pad.  There is a quirk in that the 8bitdo won't pair with the controllers on power up unless I press its connect button.

Dang, thanks, I just check it. Thanks a lot!
